The Program

The Literacy and Learning Program is delivered at various sites for adult foundational learners who wish to improve their literacy skills in the areas of reading, writing, basic computers, skills for learning and/or to accomplish specific learning goals. Targeted learners are adult men and women who face social and economic barriers and who have been involved, or are at risk of involvement, in the criminal justice system.

Group facilitation of Essential Skills programming for incarcerated women may also be required intermittently. Individual tutoring activities will include assessing individual needs and literacy levels, preparing learning plans for 1:1 instruction, adjusting instruction to best meet learner needs, supporting individuals to reach their learning goals, increasing awareness of opportunities to pursue further learning and education, program marketing, data collection, database input, learner evaluations, outcomes reporting and evaluation and adherence to agency and funder reporting requirements.
